Even if you’re not an America’s Cup level tactician or grinder, there is a career path possible for you in the sailing industry. Oakcliff Sailing is a hands-on career development pathway, training sailors both on the water and off. In this video, the Oakcliff staff shares the lessons they’ve learned about making a career in sailing.

Blockhead Advice: Before every regatta, Madeline Torrey always does one thing. She cleans, polishes, and protects her boat with a fresh coat of McLube HullKote.

We caught up with Gustavo Alonso, a Harken Blockheads member from Key Biscayne Yacht Club, during the 2019 USODA National Championship.

Gus has good advice for Opti sailors. He knows from experience.
